La vacance

Visiting family and friends in Toronto was a great experience. Never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to feel "at home" again after having been away for months. The conversation never dies and the only strangeness comes from the temporary nature of the relations. One week just isn't enough.

Seeing as many people as possible was great. Had the chance to see some friends that I haven't seen in quite some time which was excellent. Again though, it makes me sad when we get up to leave and I realise it will be months maybe even a year before we catch up again. There being no shortage of great places to be in and visit makes it even tougher to peg down when our next coffee will be.

Going downtown was great as always. Such a great feeling being in the mix of so many people and cultures. So many lifestyles crossing pathes over and over again. I especially enjoyed popping into the Opera house, which is a state of the art building. Gorgeous and another great landmark for Toronto.

A list of "to do's" awaits for the final days of my vacation. Not all of them are banal which is uplifting. We'll see how many end w/a line through their heart.
